According to Wiki, he lived in an old farmhouse in Wiltshire for 40 years - but whether he actually farmed isn’t clear. He was pretty busy with his concert programme. Yes, another great master of guitar and lute, whom I had the great fortune to see live, as well as John Williams.
And oh yes, the Alhambra in Granada: we sat having our late evening dinner al fresco, with the stunning view of the Alhambra all lit up. A young girl busker with guitar came and sat down near us, and played through several of those classic guitar pieces which I recognised from an LP I had at home: Sor, Tarrega, Albeniz, Granados. Absolute magic!
